I recall an article, in one of the model engineering mags, on making a holder for storing change wheels. It was wood and held the gears in order, vertically in slots. I have searched all the indexes I have using all the key words I can think of to no avail. Does any one recall the article and where it was? I have a feeling it would have been in the last 10 -15 years.

No promises [my copies are out of reach] but I suspect it may be this MEW article:

That's the one Michael, issue 107

e-bay has a few that look 3D printed, files also on the web to download

It is understandable that it would be challenging to locate with a search: 'changewheels' (plural, single word) is difficult.

There may be a configurable one on thingiverse that you can customise to suit your own stock and specification of gears.

One I found earlier that is quite neat:

I’m pretty certain it took me much less than five minutes to find it, using the pdf version of the MEW index.

I like the name of the Atlas "PICK-A-GEAR" even more than I like its simple but effective design. It reminds me of Select-o-matic and has a real Ronco feel to it.

I must be getting old.

Thanks everybody. Although it's not quite as I remember it I think the one in MEW #107 is the one. Don't know how I missed it as I did use the key word "storage" in my searches. Getting old I guess! I'm getting tired of digging them out of the back of the drawer in the lathe cabinet and then having to brush the swarf out of all the teeth!

Thanks again to everyone.
John

I use 20 dip wheels for my hobbling machine and store them in this box small at the front 16t and large at the back 127t , it has a sloping hinged lid to keep them clean. Sorry about the upside down photo.
